> “Microsoft Edge runs on the same technology as Chrome, with the added trust of Microsoft.”
> “That browser is so 2008! Do you know what’s new? Microsoft Edge.”

- charrondev 5y agoToo be honest I don’t think the messages to use edge over chrome are really in the same category as the others. Googles plaster their homepage with a big banner of “hey chrome is so much better than what your using” and did for years. A bit tit for tat in my book.
